I Believe

[Deleted]

So his eyes weren't playing tricks on him. Her skin was green. It didn't seem to bother him though, in fact, it really didn't. After all, his hair was as white as snow which was abnormal in itself. So who was he to judge this girl by her skin color. "I'm Jack Frost. Nice to meet you." he said giving a small smile like smirk. He looked at their uniforms, the girl was a fellow air member. That was odd, Jack was sure that he would have recognized her. Maybe he just hadn't been paying attention.

"What are you two doing out here?"

[Kevin Price]

"I'm afraid I haven't. It must be pretty important, though, the way you're going on about it."

"It's more than pretty important! It's a way of life!" He smiled, finally in his element. He was about to launch into his whole speech. How the Book of Mormon was the way to live, about Joseph Smith, about the rules and how it was perfect. But Jack approached so he held off. Perhaps he could tell Elphaba later. He smiled towards Jack with a nod and a wave.

"Hello! My name is Elder Kevin Price!" His voice was bright and cheery. He turned to Elphaba giving a stern look. "Elphaba, you could have asked nicer."

[Elphaba]

"Forgive me if I'm not made of sunshine and rainbows," Elphaba said, rolling her eyes at Kevin's assessment of her rudeness. She did think briefly on how he had said that this book of his was a way of life, but it didn't seem to leave a major impact on the girl. Her focus, it seemed, had shifted to Jack momentarily. Maybe she'd let Kevin go on about his book after she'd made her introduction to the white-haired guardian. Maybe. If it sounded uninteresting, though, there was a good chance that she'd just tell him to shut up.

"I'm Elphaba. Elphaba Thropp. I'm beautifully tragic," she said with no hint of irony. Her sister had always been described as tragically beautiful, so Elphaba turned that much on its head when it came to herself. Beautifully tragic seemed like the right way to describe herself. After all, that was what she was. She was a walking commotion and brought trouble wherever she went... Unintentionally, of course. All Elphaba wanted was to make good... To prove that she wasn't just a walking disaster. Whether or not she could was just something that fate, destiny, or whatever forces were out there to decide.

"As for what I'm doing here, I was doing some reading until I heard Kevin here. And now I assume he's going to try and explain what this book of his actually is and why it's apparently a way of life."
